UPDATE – 12/20/08 - Christine Abrams in Jail! – You can also find links to all the background stories on this prolonged and horrific case.
Just wanted to pass along this quick update as I know along with myself, many people are following the Christine Abrams case.
The case has been scheduled to continue at 9 am on October 20 in Viera.
Judge Kelly McKibben today granted a defense motion to move a hearing scheduled for Thursday in the Christine Abrams animal cruelty case to the next available docket sounding at 9 a.m. Oct. 20, a courthouse spokeswoman said.
The case came to a standstill July 29, when Abrams’ attorney, Andrew Stine of West Palm Beach, filed an emergency motion asking a circuit judge to remove McKibben from the case over alleged out-of-courtroom communications with a prosecutor about incorrectly filed paperwork.
In asking for the continuance, Stine said he is in trial in Palm Beach County and that the court here has limited jurisdiction over Abrams’ case until Circuit Judge Tonya Rainwater rules on his motion, spokeswoman Michelle Kennedy said. (Florida Today )

JUSTICE HAS TO BE SERVED FOR THE POOR DOG! HOW IN THE HELL COULD SHE DO WHAT SHE DID? HOW DO YOU LEAVE A BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL THAT GAVE NOTHING BUT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ALL IT’S LIFE AND LEAVE IT TO STARVE TO DEATH?

I’LL SAY IT AGAIN WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE TODAY, DON’T SHE KNOW HOW TO USE A PHONE & CALL AN ANIMAL SHELTER TO TAKE THE DOG. I CAN JUST IMAGINE HOW THIS POOR DOG SUFFERED. I HOPE SHE GETS WHAT SHE DESERVERS.
When this eventually goes to trial, remind me to take my vacation at that time. Nothing would please me better than to be there in that courtroom. With a three legged, stuffed white shepherd that wears an ELLA name tag. There’s a place in NYC that makes custom stuffed animals. It would be worth the price.
Of course, courtroom security may not let me in.
